Wireless security and network system employing short range magnetic induction communication of encoded identifiers

Abstract

Processing encoded identification information entails receiving the encoded identification information via a short range magnetic induction connection with a corresponding device, as well as decoding information corresponding to the encoded identification information. At least one of a decryption or decoding of the encoded identifier using the decoding information is performed to produce a decoded information item. Then additional information based upon the decoded information item is communicated over another connection separate from the short range magnetic induction connection.

1 . An apparatus for processing encoded identification information, the apparatus comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory, the memory storing program code executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:   receiving the encoded identification information via a short range magnetic induction connection with a corresponding device;   receiving decoding information corresponding to the encoded identification information;   performing at least one of a decryption or decoding of the encoded identifier using the decoding information to produce a decoded information item; and   communicating, over another connection separate from the short range magnetic induction connection, additional information based upon the decoded information item.   
     
     
         2 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code for processing encoded identification information, the program code being executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving the encoded identification information via a short range magnetic induction connection with a corresponding device;   receiving decoding information corresponding to the encoded identification information;   performing at least one of a decryption or decoding of the encoded identifier using the decoding information to produce a decoded information item; and   communicating, over another connection separate from the short range magnetic induction connection, additional information based upon the decoded information item.   
     
     
         3 . A method for processing encoded identification information, the method comprising:
 receiving the encoded identification information via a short range magnetic induction connection with a corresponding device;   receiving decoding information corresponding to the encoded identification information;   performing at least one of a decryption or decoding of the encoded identifier using the decoding information to produce a decoded information item; and   communicating, over another connection separate from the short range magnetic induction connection, additional information based upon the decoded information item.
